What does it take to get you on the dancefloor? Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..." Dwarves: "Pretty rings..." Men: "Pretty rings..." Sauron: "Mine's better."

"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauronís master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

Did you get the name Xoanon from the Dr. Who episode, The Face of Evil? (That was the first episode of DW that I ever watched and I've been hooked since.) If you are a DW fan from way back, what, if anything, do you think of the new series? And of all the DW references, why choose Xoanon, the computer suffering a major identity crisis?

But if the name refers to Greek carvings, please share your interest in antiquities. And I'll pretend I didn't ask the geeky questions above.

Above all, thank you for creating such a wonderful site! "The question isn't where, Constable, but when." - Inspector Spacetime

How did you come to know the other Founders? Did you know them in RL before online? How long did it take you to get TORn up and running having come up with the idea? Is there a Tolkien topic that you have wanted to look into more deeply and write about your thoughts on it? If so, we'd like to hear from you for the next TORn Amateur Symposium- coming in November. Happy writing!

Thanks Kel and Xoanon! Is there a Tolkien topic that you have wanted to look into more deeply, and write about your thoughts on it? If so, we'd like to hear from you for the next TORn Amateur Symposium- coming in November. Happy writing!
